Wow! Two things come to mind when I think about Convention 2021. One, what a whirlwind of an experience and two, lots of happy tears. This was the first Convention I was able to attend in person. The amount, variety, and quality of rabbits and cavies was just amazing to see all in one very large building. Thanks to modern day technology you can track your steps and when you see you have logged 20,000 steps a day, you’re like whoa! When people suggest bringing good comfortable shoes to Convention, don’t overlook this. It also shows just how much there is to see and do at Convention. My journey in this hobby that we all love started in September 2017 when I attended my first ARBA show. I am so thankful for the wonderful and very helpful rabbit friends I have met and continue to meet. The friendships you make along the way truly is the best part of the hobby! The laughs and fun you have with friends at shows and hanging out can’t be beat!

Jersey Woolies were my very first breed of rabbit. I loved them from the very beginning, and they will always be my “heart breed”. So, to be able to attend Convention in person this year and win Best of Breed, it was so amazing and such an honor! The tears just flowed when Gordon Williams announced the AOV doe won BOB. Nala is a homebred rabbit out of my first AOV litter, so it made the win extra special! I love every color jersey woolies come in, but will admit my two favorites are AOV’s and black otters. Nala has very dark point coloring and nice dark nails. Overall she is a very nicely balanced rabbit with a great coat. She has a sweet personality as jersey woolies do and just a little spunk to make her the Nala that I love!
